Vegetation Luxuriant.

The vegetation in this region Is some
thing rare to look upon. The ''oldest in
habitant" never s,4w anything to equal it.
Nine inches of rain has fallen here since
the 10th of June. at which date the grain,
grass and vegetables did not average four
inches in height. Now the wheat, oats.
corn, potatoes, ETC.. have reached an unu-
sual growth, .ad the pig-weed on old
ground is as high as horses back. All
Of which goes to prove that there is great
strength in the soil, and that AL we need

everything is an average rainfall --DestFs

WILL COME AGAIN.

Gov. Leslie enjoyed great day yester-
day. The clear, cool air of this healthful
region greatly improved his health and IN
the afternoon he was as active and obserV-
ant as ever In order to reach Helena by
easy stages he left toward evening Tor
that city, intending to stay last nightat
Ford's. On leaving the governor received
many assurances of goodwill and ne
promised to renew his visit as soon as the
railroad is open from Helena to here.
During his stay in town Gov. Leslie, in
company with Mr.. Paris Gibson and At
torneys Brady, Lewis and Holcomb, visit
ed the Black Eagle falls. Here the gov
ernor's scrutinizing eye viewed and meas
ured with qualification the great attainahie
waterpower. which will in the course OF a
few months set in motion the wheels Of
| the greatest manufacturing Industries IN
! Montana. From there the party drove to
| the Giant spring, which the governor
| pronounced the most marvellous ana
beautiful gift Of nature which ne had
| ever witnessed ''Y ou have there, said he,
| after taking refreshing drink OF the
water, s.enough pure and healthfnl water
to supply a city the size of New York ,
Leaving the spring the party drove to the
Rainbow falls. As they stood upon the
| high banks. the rainbow in all its glory
and beauty spanned the shores below
| and gracefully waived with intermixlng
colors, to and fro. The governor stood in
wonder and admiration as he gazed upon
that unexpected sight. and looking up the
| stream toward the Golfer falls and Giant
spring. and then below, where the Horse
shoe falls ehurn the waters into frothing
foam, he said that he never had seen SC
| many wonderful works of nature in such
close proximity, and he thought that nc
: place in the country, save perhaps the
National park, could in any way compare
with the beauties within his sight.

WASHINGTON, July From a regu-

President Cleveland Will take 5tn extend
ed tour in the south and west i'll tue tall,

larger cities en- route This is conclusive
evidence that there is no intention on the
part of the executive of calling an extra
session of congress. Certainly not in

Gen. VIM. Mckee Dunn, late judge adj

in Virginia, was largely Interested IN the
development and prosperity OF Washing
ton, and had been greatly instrumental III
the present prosperous condition Of the
capital.
The mortality among the very young
and very old in Washington has been
very great and superinduced by the terri
bic heat of the last four weeks. The ba-
bjes succnmb oftenest, for out OF a list OF
eight deaths in one day, seven were in
fants under one year. There is no pros
pect of relief either, for the sun continues
to shine with unabated vigor and the ire
| alent showers bring no change OF temper
ature. Under such stress. it is impossl-
| BILE not to talk about the weather.
The press of business at the post-otflee
| department is so heavy that the post
| master general has been obliged to stop
the granting of leaves of absence to em-
ployees until after the 1st of sepfeniher.

Montana Wool.

BosToS, August 4. = The inerscon
Wool Reporter in its trade report says:
The clip is more uneven in character and
condition than last year. Some lots are
extremely heavy with sand, but otherwise
retain all the excellent qualities peculiar
to wools from this locality. Other lots
are of lighter shrinkage than last year, but
more tender in staple. The light lots look
fully up to any wool previously raised in
Montana, and are quite sure to bring very
full prices, perhaps higher than any other
American wools from Indiana and other
bright wool states. The heavy lots will
have to take their chances with the other
heavy western woods, and be sold strictly
on their shfinkage value.

THE COUNTRY NORTHWARD
Our Commercial Tributaries Enjoy

nection with Montana.

Great Falls and the country around here
will profit this year by the prosperous
condition of the entire northwest, inelud-
ing the vast region north of Montana,
which is known as the Northwest Terri
tories. The reports from that part OF the
Canadian dominion are well calculated to
inspire confidence in the growth OF that
vast area which extends northward from
the Wyoming line. Telegraphic advices
from the northwest territories OF Canada
state that the condition of crops this sea-
son is everything that the settlers could
desire. The entire territories have been
favored with copious showers at Just such
times as they were required, and the re
suit is that the crops surpass the highest
expectations The barley and oat-fields
have been laid out blythe sickle, and the
wheat is now ready for the binder, samr
les of which cover the tape line for fifty
four inches. and are well filled. The
Canadian Pacific railways experimental
farms are experiments no longer, their
highest expectations of the land in the
northwest having been realized this year.
By reason of the abundance OF rain
throughout the territories the grass is
very rank and stock of all kinds is i'll the
finest possible condition. The peop'e OF
the Saskatchewan valley are much elated

Since the Canadian Pacific has taken
hold of Banff its growth has been very
rapid. The Canadian Pacific hotel, cost
ing $4,000, is about completed. This
